Last year I hyper-extended my knee whenever I fell while skating. It wasn't too bad, but it sure hurt for about a week and a half, and I didn't have 100% motion. Then about one month later I fell on it again, this time my leg bent, my butt landed on my foot while my knee took the impact to the ground. Hurt like hell for another couple of days. As of late I've been riding my bicycle regularly, I haven't experienced any problems until I started to jog at the nearest track. I've only done 1 mile each time and it was only twice. But now my knee is like it was a year ago. It's ok to move with normal motion, but when I twist my leg it puts a lot of pressure on the outer side. If kneel all the way down it puts a lot of pressure between the femur and tibia. I've scheduled an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon, but it isn't for another two weeks. If the ACL or MCL is damaged, even from last year..... well, I;m freaking out here. Am I ever going to be able to run again?
